Ice-T Explores Friendship Dynamics in Cannabis Culture on New Podcast

In a recent episode of the podcast 'House of Haze,' hosted by High Times, Ice-T delves into the complexities of friendships formed around cannabis consumption. The discussion is sparked by a line attributed to the late Guru of Gang Starr: 'I stopped smoking and realized I didn’t like my friends.' This statement serves as a catalyst for examining how relationships can be influenced by shared habits and what remains when those habits change

Ice-T, who respects the cannabis culture and its historical significance, raises important questions about the nature of friendships built on shared consumption. He challenges listeners to consider who remains in their lives when the cannabis is no longer a factor. This isn't a critique of cannabis itself but an exploration of the authenticity of relationships that may be rooted more in the activity than in genuine connection

The podcast further discusses the importance of setting boundaries and the responsibility that comes with adult friendships. Ice-T emphasizes the need for friends who can respect decisions and maintain connections beyond shared indulgence. He argues for clarity in relationships, suggesting that true friendship should withstand the absence of cannabis. The conversation also touches on broader themes such as justice, politics, and the myths surrounding the legal cannabis business, offering a comprehensive look at the cultural impact of cannabis
